My Cultural Life
My Cultural Life explores the cultural hinterland of figures in our creative, political and social landscape in ten quick fire questions.
You were wrong to represent your comments, views, practices and beliefs to be the beliefs of all ' Muslims '.
You are part of the sufi council, and just like you said on the big questions show bbc 1 on 27/09/09, that you worship and ask through something that Allah created, such as a saint or dead person, which is totally wrong, and is idol worship.
It is Shirk, and it is a sin that Allah will not forgive. It is wrong for a person to be alive and to intercede, let alone a person who is dead. That dead person probably does need you to pray for him, but not to him, or to ask him to intercede. Astagfarullah.
For example if your family member cooked food for you and we always Thank Allah and before we eat we say Bismillah, and your family member who cooked the food for you is expecting you to say thankyou, But you go outside and thank the cat or the tree or the grass or even the ground. So tell me who cooked the food for you?, and who deserves the thankyou?, and who is the One that created the Heavens and the Earth and everything in it, Allah. So worship Allah alone and give thanks to Allah.
